FAQ
Q: Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! It’s ideal for prepping a day in advance. Just cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.

A: You can, but the dessert may be less rich and creamy. Whole milk gives the best results for this particular recipe.
Q: What if I don’t have cornstarch?
A: You can use arrowroot powder or flour, but cornstarch provides the smoothest consistency.
Q: Can I skip the cream cheese?
A: Yes, but the texture will be slightly less dense and rich. You can substitute with mascarpone for a similar effect.
